Reading and Living
Posted on March 10th, 2007 2:50 AM | Comments (1) | Pings (0)I’ve just finished the last book in Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Science in the Capital” trilogy, Sixty Days and Counting, and it was of course great. As always, there’s some hard science fiction, but this one seemed to be more concentrated on the politics, the people, and their relationships.
It bothers me that when discussing An Inconvenient Truth, WGBH DJs refer to it as being a “Power Point presentation” instead of a “Keynote presentation”.

The Secret Life of Cowboys does indeed have a stunning cover, and even sounds like an interesting book. Worth checking out, perhaps.
What book is in your purse/backpack? Walking by Henry David Thoreau. What book is on your bedside table? Writings on an Ethical Life by Peter Singer.
